Hi,

Can anyone help me fix this problem.

I have a mdi container in that I am opening 3 forms. What I want is out of the three forms, one of the form should not get maximized in any condition.

All the forms have the mdiparent property already set.

Solution 3

first you need to set

VB

Me.WindowState=FormWindowState.Normal
Me.MaximizeBox = False

Second you need to call form as

VB

form.showdialog()

in mdi parent when you are calling that form

Solution 1

Its quite simple really.
Just set the maximize property to false - this.MaximizeBox = false;

Here is a simple blog[^] explaining this.

Solution 4

For the form that you don't want to be maximized, hand the ResizeEnd event, and check the Form.WindowState property. If the form is maximized, set the state to FormWindowState.Normal.
